Greatest in the Kingdom

What is Our Purpose

To accomplish the mission God gave us, we must understand the purpose of the church and our place in it—making and multiplying disciples in the power and presence of Christ.

Make No Peace with Evil

In Mark 9, Jesus calls us to pursue unity with His people while taking radical, uncompromising action against sin.

Greatest in the Kingdom

In Mark 9 Jesus prepares His disciples for His coming death, they argue about who is the greatest. Their silence and pride reveal how easily the human heart drifts toward status over surrender. Jesus responds by turning their understanding upside down: true greatness is not found in being first, but in becoming last, serving others, and welcoming the least. In doing so, we reflect Christ Himself, who humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross.

When Weak Faith Meets Strong Savior

Power isn’t found in the strength of your faith but in the object of your faith. A weak faith placed in a strong Savior is enough, because the power belongs to Him.

Transformed

What do you do when the mountaintop moment fades? In Mark 9, Jesus reveals His glory to prepare His disciples for suffering. This sermon explores how seeing Christ clearly changes how we walk through confusion, hardship, and everyday life. Because the goal isn’t to stay on the mountain—it’s to trust Him in the valley.
